DJ Feadz February 11, 2009

Strange one. This patient seems convinced that he’s signed to France’s biggest electro music label, Ed Banger. He believes that he’s had over 20 releases over the last decade, including a riotous remix of Foreigner’s classic Cold As Ice. He claims that earlier this year he dropped one of the filthiest, most rocking EPs of the year in the form of his Happy Meal EP.

From anyone else, these claims would be nothing more than the ramblings of the latest admission to Bedlam. But we’re not dealing with anyone else. You see, our subject for this psychological experiment is none other than Parisian electro noise-monger, DJ Feadz. Let’s get into his head.

The Rorscharch test is probably better known to most as the Ink Blot test. Subjects are shown plates with abstract, enigmatic patterns on them and asked to articulate, as best they can, exactly what that slide makes them think of. Feadz seems bemused, and not exactly optimistic.

“This is the first test I’ve done so I might not have so much imagination…!”

“Makes me think of like a spider or a fox, you know?” Now, the thing about the Rorscharch tests is the huge emphasis its proponents put on the sexual connotations of the images. “But I didn’t think this was sexual! It would be a very big bush…”

“That one looks like Darth Vader!” Someone told me earlier that day that this looks a little bit like Busy P. I’m sure there’s something in that.

“There is a mixture between like a face and some continents? I might not have so much imagination again! I see a big face and some stuff that doesn’t mean so much.”

“It looks like a character, with maybe a tail or a dick or something like this. Me, I’m drawing a lot, makes me think about my characters.” What kind of stuff does Feadz draw? “Stupid stuff, like faces. Mostly like simple, simple face. But I like to draw a lot, yeah.”

“That’s a bat.” Feadz is nothing if not concise.

“It’s like the stuff in the cemetery, you call it a grave? With the cross here. It looks like a gravestone, yeah.”

“I think about…nothing. I don’t see nothing in that picture.” Nothing at all? “No. Nothing.” At this point, I’m beginning to think the Rorschach test wasn’t one of my brighter ideas.

“This one, er, makes me think about crabs.”

“This one, er, makes me think about crabs.”

“This one makes me think of kind of a skull like a…yeah…a skull.”

“This one makes me think of kind of a skull like a…yeah…a skull.”

Feadz looks suitably bemused and perplexed by this last one. “Yeah...have you had a look at the answers for these?” Well, strictly speaking there are no right and wrong ‘answers’.
